Marching On For Life

abort 67-Thursday, May 25, 2017

Our CBR UK and Abort67 team recently attended the March for Life in
Birmingham. Several hundred Pro-Lifers from all over the country and beyond came together to make a public stand for the right to life of every pre-born
human being, and despite occasional, heavy rain showers and a group of pro-abortion protesters who attempted to distract by chanting, shouting
and throwing blood-red smoke bombs, the resolve of all attendees was undeterred. Everyone felt greatly inspired and challenged by the speeches
of the speakers from the different Pro-Life branches, among which was also our very own Aisling Hubert from Abort67. There was a lot of friendly
interaction at the stands of the different organisations represented.

The march itself began slowly and was at times stopped by the pro-abortion protesters but eventually went ahead successfully and happily. It was
a great joy to connect with many new people and touch base with old friends.

Now that a few days have passed, what are our thoughts? While it is wonderful to come together at such a special event with other like-minded people who
share the desire to see the injustice of abortion abolished from our society, it is clear that one event cannot bring this about. The struggle to expose
and end abortion has to be our very own daily "march for life"! It must be a walk of determination and resolve, which requires focus and the use of
a very practical strategy and effective tools to achieve this goal. We at Abort67 believe and know that this is a winnable battle, using simple successful
strategies passed down to us by previous social reform movements in our history.

We all love celebration and know it is so important to make room for hope and joy in our lives! After all, it is a great privilege to stand for the rights
of other defenceless human beings. But in our hope and joy, we need to be pro-active with a willingness to pay the price that is needed. And our hope
is that in 5, 10 or 50 years’ time, we will no longer need to meet at a March for Life because the right and protection of the life of the pre-born
will be so firmly implemented and normal in our society that the thought of abortion ever having been (or ever again being) acceptable and legal will
be unthinkable.
